Romance
I can hear what animals are thinking.Not even my husband, Corbin Whitmore, knows that secret.On our fifth anniversary, he gave me a limited-edition bag, pulled me close, and made me a promise."From now on, I'll buy you one every year."For the past few years, he'd been swamped with work, while I'd been tied up at the animal rescue center.We hadn't even had time to celebrate our anniversaries.I thought he was just busy. I thought he still loved me.Then Banjo, the cat I'd had for seven years, jumped up on the dining table, stared at the bag, and spoke."Mom, the lady with the red bracelet came again last night."Every time she kisses Dad, Dad buys her a bag."And her bracelet's missing a diamond."My heart sank.I'd given that bracelet to my cousin, Tamsin Weir.Just last month, she'd told me one of the diamonds had fallen out.When I looked up, Corbin smiled at me. "Do you like it?"I pushed down the chill in my chest and took the bag from him."I love it."They wanted to use this bag to cover up their affair.Fine. I'd start with the bag and tear their lies apart, one by one.
